While you're poking around in there, any chance you could see why '_' isn't
always a valid character in a man page name when it's deciding whether
or not to generate a link.
For example, go to:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg_add&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+4.5-RELEASE&format=html
and note that all the links in the SEE ALSO section work ("pkg_create",
"pkg_delete", etc).
Now try:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=kstat&sektion=3KSTAT&apropos=0&manpath=SunOS+5.8
and see that the links to things like "kstat_open" and "kstat_write" are
broken.
